Why would you assume better wages? You're not operating under the delusion that increase productivity automatically means higher salary, are you?

  It used to until about 1965. Then mysteriously labor’s real wages went flat and ever since all productivity gains have been captured by the managerial class and their principals.

  Here’s how you should write that: “Why would they get better wages? Increased productivity doesn’t automatically mean higher salary.” Keep your writing clear.

  You’re not operating under the delusion that your reading comprehension is such that you were able to understand what I wrote, are you? (Do you see the unnecessary condescension in your writing? Worse still when you didn’t parse the sentence properly.) The operative word “should” shows very clearly that I haven’t assumed better wages. I expect better wages, but neither assume it nor guarantee it. I did however state that I expect fewer workers in the space. This isn’t entirely clear either but I will go on the record to state that I expect it. It’s possible that the GenAI tools will enable such productivity increases that we see a surge in induced demand and a massive influx of content. My expectation is that this won’t happen as I believe we are likely close to a saturation point in content and expect then that the productivity increases will drown out any induced demand yielding fewer workers.
